Brooklyn Medical Malpractice

Brooklyn Obstetrical Malpractice Lawyer

If your child has suffered injury or brain damage due to suspected doctor or nurse error, a Brooklyn obstetrical malpractice suit is possible. Genetic defects, or those that are determined before birth and can be hereditary in nature, are not the result of malpractice. Mental retardation, Down's Syndrome and many other potentially devastating conditions are not the fault of the doctors or nurses. However, many conditions like Cerebral Palsy and Erb's Palsy are preventable.

When a fetus is in distress and not receiving enough oxygen during birth, often Cerebral Palsy is the end result. Close monitoring of the mother and child during labor and delivery can give the obstetrician a signal that something is wrong and that the baby is not thriving. A C-section can be performed to remove the baby immediately and prevent any or further damage due to lack of oxygen. When any of these things don't happen, from proper monitoring to an emergency procedures, death or Cerebral Palsy can result.

Cerebral Palsy can be mild, from slight learning disabilities to minor lack of function of limbs, and in severe cases the child may live his or her entire life needing 24-hour care. Lack of motor control can prevent the child from being able to eat on his or her own or take care of even the most basic bodily functions, even as an adult. A life in a wheelchair without the ability to speak or communicate is sometimes the result of serious obstetrical malpractice. And sometimes the result is infant death.

When negligence has turned what should be the happiest day of your life-the birth of your child-into the beginning of a lifelong struggle with health, health care, medical bills and anguish, you should contact a Brooklyn obstetrical malpractice lawyer to discuss your options.
